Skeptical of AEW doing house shows. They have a lot of talent that needs to get better, but I’m not sure they only need reps. They might need an entirely different environment to change how they think about wrestling. You might have more injuries and they may chew up some of their markets. There aren’t exactly deep reservoirs of fans willing to go to these shows — it’s the same people, hence why they can only run some markets once a year.
That being said, if Jeff Jarrett’s booking them and they end up as their own little universe, they could be better than AEW proper. It wouldn’t surprise me if when Tony Khan has a mental breakdown, Jeff Jarrett ends up running the whole show. That’s if he doesn’t make himself too many political enemies before then by outshining AEW.
